YWCA Programs Empower

The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The YWCA has also worked to promote the physical and emotional health and wellness, as well as the economic wellbeing, of underserved communities with new programs and recent outreach events.

Read more about the programs that are expanding opportunities and changing the lives of women and their families in our community.
Flu season is here. Flu viruses circulated at historic lows last year in 2020 due to mitgations like masking, closing schools, working from home, and no global travel.

While last year's nonexistent flu season was a silver lining to the pandemic, it may work against us this year, especially with ongoing misconceptions about the flu virus.

Read more in our recent column in the Lincoln Journal Star, co-written with LNKTV Health.

Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and protecting the health, wellness, and fitness of Lincoln's children, families, and seniors.

We work to improve wellness policies and conduct community level health research. We collaborate with community partners to promote healthy weights through good nutrition and fitness, improve child and maternal health by supporting breastfeeding, create better patient outcomes by increasing cancer screening and vaccination rates, improving chronic disease management, increasing preventative outreach, and standardizing clinical practices. During public health crises like the COVID 19 pandemic, we help to protect community health by providing science and evidence-based information.
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln also works to improve health equity in our community, addressing disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest burden of chronic disease.  Systemic racism is also a threat to community health. We stand in solidarity with everyone who is fighting for greater equality and justice for all.
